Views of our students and parents about the quality of provision at the academy really matter to us. We are always trying to improve the service that we offer and the starting point for that is to try and be as clear as possible about where we are doing well and not so well.
In that endeavor the Parent surveys (2012 and 2009) and student surveys (2013 and 2010) have been critically important evidence bases.
Crucially these surveys are benchmarked – that means that the answers given to questions by our students and parents are compared to answers given to the same questions by thousands of students and parents nationally.
